    Zhu Houzhao was stunned.

    He never expected that Fang Jifan had already had a ¡®plan¡¯.

    "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

    Fang Jifan said humbly: "I am still young. Although I have a not so good idea, I think your Majesty is wise. The two ministers in the cabinet are very experienced in planning the country. I think they have already made plans in their hearts. I should be more humble."  ."

    Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were silent. Anyway, no matter what Fang Jifan said, they no longer cared.

    Zhu Houzhao said anxiously: "Speak quickly."

    "There is only one way." Fang Jifan said: "Temporarily disband the First Army."

    "What¡­¡­"

    Suddenly, everyone was stunned.

    When everyone stared at him with wide-eyed shock, Fang Jifan said: "The military attache will stay for now, and the rest of the soldiers will be sent away."

    "Dismissal?" Zhu Houzhao came back to his senses and frowned: "Old Fang, are you crazy?"

    Fang Jifan became particularly serious: "This is the quickest way. Of course there is a faster way, which is for the court to provide more money and treatment, but His Majesty also knows that the people we will recruit in the future  , is tens of millions. The current treatment is already a huge burden for the imperial court. If it is more, I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to bear it. Therefore I said that it is best to disband the First Army.  way."

    Liu Jian also frowned: "If we set up a standing army, how can we change the order every day? This is a national policy. We recruit today and demobilize tomorrow. What is the meaning of this?"

    Fang Jifan, who had already prepared the plan, said: "What I mean is not to change the order overnight, but to have the First Army retire early, and all the backbones will be retained. Those who are retired are only soldiers, so it cannot be regarded as changing the order overnight."

    Li Dongyang couldn't help but ask: "What does Duke Qi mean by this?"

    Fang Jifan said: "This is for the sake of the standing army. It is too difficult to change people's ideas. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky"

    Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "No, Lao Fang, no matter what your plan is, I will never allow you to do this. These are the soldiers I have trained hard and are my hard work."

    In an instant, the emperor actually stood with Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, and Fang Jifan became the target of public criticism.

    Now, they only have one thought: Fang Jifan has a brain disease.

    Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation."

    "Don't listen!" Zhu Houzhao said: "No matter what flower you name, I won't allow you to fool around."

    Fang Jifan gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, how do you recruit the manpower for the standing army? The Ministry of War is already as anxious as ants on a hot pot."

    Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to say: "I'll think about it again."

    Fang Jifan said: "We can't waste time. How about making a bet?"

    Zhu Houzhao said sternly: "There is no delay, and I won't allow you to gamble on what?"

    Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, well, he still understands Zhu Houzhao's virtues!

    Liu Jian and Li Dongyang never imagined that national events would end up being child's play

    Fang Jifan said: "Three months, give me three months to demobilize these thousands of people, and I will bring you one hundred thousand good sons and daughters! Not only that, if the soldiers who were demobilized before are willing to come back, they can still be allowed to return to the army."  .Your Majesty, don¡¯t you dare to gamble? Just forget it.¡±

    "Why don't you dare?" Zhu Houzhao stared at him and said, "Did you lose?"

    "Xishan is willing to pay three million taels for military expenses." Fang Jifan said without any guilt.

    ¡°At this moment even Liu Jian and Li Dongyang started to feel excited.

    Zhu Houzhao was happy: "How can I ask for your money?"

    Fang Jifan said lightly: "Forget it."

    Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said immediately: "We have agreed on a bet, how can we say it has the final say? A gentleman has no joke, and a real man spits out nothing but a nail."

    "What if your Majesty loses?" Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao calmly.

    Zhu Houzhao said: "For so many years, warriors have indeed been suppressed. How can we, the Ming Dynasty, not only think about expanding our territory and extending kindness and power to the world, but also let the soldiers be treated as untouchables? They want to do it for the Ming Dynasty.  , He who bleeds for the imperial court, the person who bleeds is treated so lightly, not to mention it is unreasonable, even if it does not do any good to the country. If it can be a glorious thing for people to join the army, thensoldiers  Our situation will be greatly improved. This is a great achievement. If I don't reward you, how can I let you go? If it succeeds, I will grant you an official title for the first time, and I will not be stingy."

    &nWhat do people do when they argue about this? What if they win?  "

    Zhu Houzhao knew that what Fang Jifan said was correct, but he was still holding his breath, so he put down the tea cup and suddenly said loudly: "That's not entirely true. Without these soldiers, how can we be safe? You guys are talking nonsense."

    He said so loudly.

    Several people who were discussing suddenly lowered their voices and looked at Zhu Houzhao in surprise. Unexpectedly, at this time, someone actually came to argue with them.

    But when they saw Zhu Houzhao's young appearance, they immediately showed meaningful expressions, and then looked at Zhu Houzhao with a look of care for the mentally retarded.

    "Little brother I've been here before, so you don't understand. Joining the army is not a nice thing to say. You young people are ignorant, and you will know it in the future."

    The others burst into laughter, thinking that the young master of some merchant came out and made nonsense.

    "In the future, if my little brother has a daughter, he will know a saying that it is better to have a daughter than to marry a soldier. People who join the army are called thieves in the army throughout the ages. Those who have committed crimes are exiled and sent to the army.  You just joined the army, tell me, what good can this do?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
